As a child who felt displaced in a world of hard facts and harsh realities, Devon-based singer-songwriter-guitarist Rowan Stuart always dreamed of a better place, where reality could be shaped to his will. At the age of 11, he discovered the guitar, and with it, the key to unlocking the worlds of his mind. Rowan grew up in South Africa, where he became a sought-after session guitarist, most notably in theatre productions including 'We Will Rock You' SA, in which he performed Guitar 1. But he always felt the need to tell his own stories, and so in 2008 he took a bold step and released his first solo album. Rowan went on to complete many solo South African tours, performing over 1000 shows, and supporting many of the country's most successful pop and rock bands and artists, while releasing 7 original albums. He also achieved mainstream radio success, most notably with singles 'Survivors', 'The Kingdom Of Leaves' and 'Silver Balloon'. Now based in Paignton, Devon, United Kingdom, Rowan continues his quest to bridge the gap between reality and fantasy through the magic of music, with his signature style of 'Story-Driven Dream Folk Pop'. "My music is my sanctuary, and it is here for anyone who needs a refuge from the chaos of modern life, and who could do with a little more meaningful escapism". On the 26th of April 2024, Rowan released his ‘Fable EP’ - a 5-song journey through love, companionship, survival and adventure.
